I'm still laughing

Fri Jan 9, 2009, 10:08 AM
Excuse me, I know it's nothing big but... it's so darn amusing... *wipes tear of laughter*
Seriously... 10%.... this is officially a meme between me and my nephew.... no it has nothing to do with the Freiza 2% meme *more tears of laughter*


Nonono, I'll explain.

Today my nephew and I went to the mall, to a Game shop. We saw some strategy guides there.
The shop was having sales, so everything was slightly cheaper, but just a litte. Most of the strategy guides were 15~20 euros but costed 5 euros less..... save for this FF3 DS guide, which costed 20 euros originally...but...the sale price... was... a little over 2 euros! SERIOUSLY!

All it was in almost pristine condition, it was just a little dirty in the front because the plastic wrappers had holes and it must have been in the storage for a while. A little dirt wouldn't be enough to take 90% of the price off!

Even if he didn't really need the guide, darn, as hell anyone with a brain would let THAT ONE pass!

Anyway, we opened it when we got to his house, there was nothing wrong with the book.

Seriously, never in my life had I seen a promotion like this... it costed 10% of the original price! 10%! It's a damn miracle, taht's what.

Or probably the guys at the store had been taking drugs. that's probably it, because there were some mispriced games at the shop. I don't remember which game it was, but in a shelf it was priced as 50 euros or so, and in another shelf it was 10 euros. And then I think it was 2nd hand Paper Marios that cost 20 and 30 euros respectively, standing next to eachother.


Kids, seriously, don't do drugs. xD

Oh man, I can't stop laughing. *wipes more tears*

Anyway, while I was there I bought Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. I wasn't specially interested, I know it's not the best CV out there, but it was only 10 euros and, considering my current budged and the few DS games that I have, I better take advantage of opportunities like this. Besides, I like the CV series, so I don't really mind. Even if I end up not liking it, it's a collector's item.

Oh lol. Seriously, WTF? XD What were they on? LSD?

Anyway, if I ever save enough money, I'm buying either Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, Europa Universalis III Complete, Empire: Total War or one of the "Age of" games. Lulz, well, "Broken Sword" 3 and 4 would be nice, too.

Well, if they were, I hope they take it more often when I go there.

That damn mall is so far away from where I live, I can't walk to it«, and my mom hates going there, so I can only go when my nephew invites me.

Pfft, the way things are right now, I'll never have money for full-price games anymore.
And I completely gave up the idea of a 3rd gen gaming system.

2 Euros pela strategy guide? Oo wtf

O mínimo que conseguia uma revista de PC's ou tal era entre 3 a 5 euros ou isso... Também já faz um tempo que não compro uma revista...

:iconsuzukashin:
Era o maior que lá estava(e os guides são maiores que as revistas de jogos/PCs, além de terem papel de melhor qualidade) e estava tudo bem com o livro, só tava um pouco sujo na frente com pó por causa de uns buracos no plástico.

Aquilo tem tudo e mais alguma coisa sobre o jogo.

Custava 20 euros antes dos saldos... e agora custou 2! MILAGRE!

Eu e o meu sobrinho achamos que foi por causa de alguém que comprou o guide errado, abriu e devolveu, e como já estava aberto, teve de ser assim. O plástico tinha fita cola dos lados e encontrámos um cartão provisório de sócio da loja lá dentro. xD

Mas mesmo assim... DOIS EUROS?!?!?!?!

>_> I'm sort of using my Action Replay...but the Dullahan was a bitch even with it; it took FOREVER for me to kill him. I really don't know how they expect you to beat some of the bosses.
